I saw that the crash package is already included in the -proposed archive. Can 
you test with it?

$ apt-cache madison crash

  The below commit is needed for vtop address translation to succeed

    commit 182914debbb9a2671ef644027fedd339aa9c80e0
    Author: Dave Anderson <ander...@redhat.com>
    Date:   Fri Sep 23 09:09:15 2016 -0400

      With the introduction of radix MMU in Power ISA 3.0, there are
      changes in kernel page table management accommodating it.  This patch
      series makes appropriate changes here to work for such kernels.
      Also, this series fixes a few bugs along the way:
      
        ppc64: fix vtop page translation for 4K pages
        ppc64: Use kernel terminology for each level in 4-level page table
        ppc64/book3s: address changes in kernel v4.5
        ppc64/book3s: address change in page flags for PowerISA v3.0
        ppc64: use physical addresses and unfold pud for 64K page size
        ppc64/book3s: support big endian Linux page tables
      
      The patches are needed for Linux v4.5 and later kernels on all
      ppc64 hardware.

  Also, the below commit is needed

    commit 8ceb1ac628bf6a0a7f0bbfff030ec93081bca4cd
    Author: Dave Anderson <ander...@redhat.com>
    Date:   Mon May 23 11:23:01 2016 -0400

      Fix for Linux commit 0139aa7b7fa12ceef095d99dc36606a5b10ab83a, which
      renamed the page._count member to page._refcount.  Without the patch,
      certain "kmem" commands fail with the "kmem: invalid structure member
      offset: page_count".
